Externally, CMU Common Lisp is only available via anonymous FTP. We don't have the manpower to make tapes. These are our distribution machines:
lisp-rt1.slisp.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.217.9) lisp-rt2.slisp.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.217.10)
Log in with the user `anonymous' and `username@host' as password (i.e. your EMAIL address.) When you log in, the current directory should be set to the CMU Common Lisp release area. If you have any trouble with FTP access, please send mail to `slisp@cs.cmu.edu'.
The release area holds compressed tar files with names of the form:
FTP compressed tar archives in binary mode. To extract, `cd' to the directory that is to be the root of the tree, then type:version-machine_os.tar.Z
The resulting tree is about 23 megabytes. For installation directions, see the section ``site initialization'' in README file at the root of the tree.uncompress <file.tar.Z | tar xf - .
If poor network connections make it difficult to transfer a 10 meg file, the release is also available split into five parts, with the suffix `.0' to `.4'. To extract from multiple files, use:
cat file.tar.Z.* | uncompress | tar xf - .
The release area also contains source distributions and other binary distributions. A listing of the current contents of the release area is in `FILES'. Major release announcements will be made to comp.lang.lisp until there is enough volume to warrant a comp.lang.lisp.cmu.
